Cloudflare went down yesterday - the CEO Matthew Prince admitted mistake

i'm sorry, Matthew - the fault was mine.

my startup EngageKit also went down, causing frustration for hundreds of users on LinkedIn

then i remember a vibe-security workshop i host at Cloudflare

i said the 200-feature limit on the bot model was weak.

we changed the clickhouse query. pulled from the r0 database.

doubled the features. pure vibes.

the rust code saw the file. it panicked.

5xx errors everywhere. the internet went dark.

on the plus side - we all got a free global penetration test.

if you're not causing a global rollback, you're not shipping hard enough.

test in prod

and see where the weakest in your system lies

and then i woke up - everything is back to work again

my latest Bumble match turned into a career consultation session she said her job was "kinda boring." my brain lit up. this wasn't a date. this was a user discovery call. she works in "maketing for magazine." she didn't feel like she "belonged." these aren't feelings. they are pain points. each one is a feature for a product that doesn't exist yet. "have you thought about a different vision?" she thought she was venting to a potential date. in reality, she was providing unpaid data for my next venture a problem i might just sell back to her for $49 a course. she got a free therapy session. i got a validated user discovery call. connect with me for more useful business advice 💪 … more

i just finished a 30-hour flight from the US to Saigon most people paid for a flight. i paid for a 30-hour mobile office in the air my friend saw me coding. “Why not just watch a movie and relax?” i calculated the ROI of sleeping on a 30-hour flight so I broke down the math for her the ticket wasn't an expense. it was an asset it bought me 30 hours of uninterrupted time sleeping is a conscious decision to depreciate that asset my friend was literally setting her money on fire for 14 hours straight i converted that same time into three new features that's pure alpha it's why Jensen Huang says he's always working. from the moment he wakes up to the moment he goes to bed he's not "working." He's just running his native code. after we landed, I went straight to a cafe and hosted the most active builder meetup in Saigon my friend asked why I don’t get jet lag I told her rest is a legacy feature I had deprecated work is rest because founders are just built different connect with me for more useful business advice 💪 … more

if you don't grind on a Saturday - you have already lost.

most young people spend their weekends at parties.

or worse, "networking events."

sales guys talking. marketing girls taking photos. founders promoting themselves.

no real shit gets done.

so I started a labor camp - hosted this week by Kiet Le and Chris Nguyen, CFA

you show up. you ship. you don't go home until you have a working demo.

the folks who were enslaved this weeks include:

Bao Bui Le Chi: Completed 90% of a landing page. 90% is a failing grade. We're still waiting for you, comrade.

Chris Nguyen, CFA: Built an internal data pipeline for the Vietnamese stock market. Useful infrastructure for the new regime.

Kiet Le: Built a frontend for an AI voice agent. Automating the labor of the masses. Good.

David Tran: Tested a photo restoration app. Erasing the imperfect past.

Anh Duy: Built a personal task tracker. A tool for self-surveillance. Approved.

Ky-Nam 🧑. (afar): shipped demo prototype for group chat analytics app

i don't care about your feelings. i care about your output.

happiness is a distraction.

suffer for progress.

and you will be surprised how much fun it actually is :D
